This morning I got an email about how the cold that’s hitting us next week is 30-50 degrees below average and how frostbite can kick in at 5 min exposure to nighttime temperatures…. My first thought was for my unhoused neighbors who I see along the canal walk and trails near it . I’m going to order handwatmers and gloves and socks and make cold preventative bags to give out , but one person can do so much so if anyone has old gloves or socks (warm kind) or hats and wants to add them in or even if you want to go with me to hand out next week I figured I’d post because a group effort would probably get more done :)

I am not sure where you got that info about frostbite, but it takes longer than 5 min.

I would suggest putting some time in here: https://www.endhomelessnessrva.org/ because that gives you a backbone to work from. I am sure they can use help with donation management!
